Without Nirvana in the loop the 90's Alternative nation and the '00's indie rock movement which dominated the rock landscape does NOT happen.

Dislike their music, but I think it's very easy to make a case they are top ten influential rock bands of all times. You can argue they made no impact songwriting/music composition wise(and I would disagree), but as far as creating a brand new lane for artists in mainstream rock and roll it's undeniable.

I can make the same argument on NWA: you hop back in and assassinate them and hip-hop itself changes drastically and it goes beyond introducing Dre as a megaproducer and Snoop as an MC. Rappers from 50 Cent to Kendrick Lamar have a much harder time making name for themselves.
